WOMAN WHO CREATED A KATHRYN KNOTT PARODY IS SUING KATHRYN KNOTT

THIS 100-YEAR-OLD WOMAN SET A WORLD RECORD AT THE PENN RELAYS

Ida Keeling is almost as old as the race she ran over the weekend. The 100-year-old New York City-based great-great grandmother was in town for the 122nd Penn Relays, and because being the oldest person there wasn’t cool enough already, she also set a world record in her age group by completing the 100-meter dash in 1 minute, 17 seconds. NewsWorks has photos of the 4’6″ powerhouse.
